Post Hospitalization Care

Providing post-hospitalization care at home involves a range of medical procedures and therapeutic interventions. It's important to note that the specific care needs can vary based on the individual's medical condition, the nature of the procedure, and healthcare provider recommendations. Here's an overview of post-hospitalization care procedures and therapies:

  • Medical Procedures At Home:
  • Bladder Wash: A bladder wash involves irrigating the bladder with a sterile solution. This may be necessary for individuals with urinary issues or following certain medical procedures. It should be performed under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
  • Catheterization: Catheterization involves inserting a catheter into the bladder to drain urine. This may be required for individuals who are unable to urinate on their own. Proper sterile techniques must be followed, and this procedure is often performed by trained healthcare professionals.
  • IV Fluids/Saline Administration: Administering intravenous (IV) fluids or saline at home may be necessary for hydration or medication delivery. This requires specialized equipment, proper aseptic technique, and supervision by a healthcare professional.
  • Intramuscular/Intravenous Injection: Some medical conditions or treatments may require injections at home. This can include intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) injections. Proper administration technique and hygiene are crucial.
  • Post Operative Cleaning and Surgical Dressings: After certain surgeries, wound care is essential. This involves cleaning the surgical site, applying sterile dressings, and monitoring for signs of infection. Care should be taken to follow the surgeon's or healthcare provider's instructions.
